Another great week!!



Dear Mom and Fam,

Sounds like everything is good.  I am glad that you had the opportunity to spend a lot of time with family this past week.  I miss all those guys (Siblings and extended family).  But I know that it will have all been for the best by the time I am back.  And life goes on wherever you are.  So I will keep you all in my prayers and the Peck family in my prayers as well.

Para José o Dallin: What would be a good comment in Spanish to help these Latinos understand the importance of coming to our sacrament meeting instead of just any other sacrament?

This week has been a wild ride.  First off, I had my first baptism this week! that was really fun.  Her name was Geny and she has been an investigator of my companion elder Peña for like 2 and a half months.  She is pretty awesome and was definitely ready to be baptized.  We were not able to confirm her on Sunday because her dad got really sick so she drove to Santa Marta to make sure everything was good.

We have had on and off rain this week.  At one point we got stuck at this little tienda for like a half hour because of the rain.  So we talked to the owner for that time and she accepted to listen to our message this week.  She also had this really good bread called pan rojo.  Muy rico.
I always have my umbrella with me because it is super unpredictable and random.  We have been working really hard at trying to find new investigators this past week without much luck but we just keep trying!

Spanish has been on and off this past week, my companion doesn`t talk that much unless we are in a lesson.  So I try to talk as much as I can, but it is a little discouraging sometimes.  Only enough to turn me to prayer.

Also there are people here who make arepas with eggs cooked inside of them.  They are so good and only 1 mil.  That`s the equivalent of 30 cents back home.  And I figured out how to send pictures so I have a couple for you guys.

Other than that It was just another week.  I hope you all have a better week and that you feel the power of the prayers I send to God each night for each and every one of you.

Con muchisimo amor,
Elder Fuell

Another Week in Colombia

The group of missionaries leaving the Colombia Barranquilla Mission on 7/17/18 7/17/18 Elder David Fuell is on his way home.  We have enjoyed watching David learn the culture of Colombia and learn to love the people there.  His smile tells us that he loved the people he worked with and learned to appreciate a different way of life.  I know he has testified many times in these last two years about the truthfulness of the gospel and spent the last two years sharing that testimony of his.  We echo his testimony and am so glad David chose to go on a mission.  He didn't have to go.  He did not get paid and there is no earthly reward for dedicating your life for two years to the Lord.  But he went anyway!  We love David and are excited to learn of the things he experienced and the great people he taught and loved.  A las Colombianos que ayudaran a Elder Fuell, gracias y que Dios te bendigas siempre.  Con amor, The Fuells 7/16/18 ...

Two weeks of posts and only two weeks left

July 2, 2018 Sounds like everyone else is doing good.  I am also doing good. I have been spending a lot of time in my house because of the world cup, but it's been some good study time and a lot of reflecting time.  Even though my companion and I haven't had a lot of time to get out to work we have a baptism this week and a possible baptism next week.  His name is Carlos. He's really cool.  He cracks me up.  He is 17 years old and he sometimes is really lazy, but he wants to improve in everything.  Since he is 17 his mom had to sign his permission this week to have his interview and when she went to sign it she stopped and said, "You know that this is a really important decision.  Are you sure you want to do this?" He looked down, put his face in his hands for like 5 seconds looked up at us and at her and said, "Sign it." Without even a look of hesitation in his face.  Then while she was writing it he said "No! I don't want to do it!...

Another week in Colombia

Happy late 4th of July.  Hope that it was really cool. Sorry about the heat there sounds like Cartegena. This week was wild.  We have some new investigators that were referrals from the Bishop and they are a couple and they drink A LOT.  The first time we went to their was almost 3 weeks ago.  When we got there they were really drunk and telling us that they wanted to change their lives.  So we started talking to them about the Plan of Salvation and the word of wisdom.  We left them a pamphlet and came back another day to teach more.  The next time we passed by their house they had completely stopped drinking.  They said that they felt something when we taught them and it was enough reason for them to stop drinking.  This last week they attended church for the first time and they loved it.  We taught them about the Book of Mormon and the prophet Joseph smith this last week and they were quiet until the end of the lesson and they b...
